I've heard people complain about wireless keyboards and mouses. But they seem cool. What do you think about them? Get them or not?
I have both and LOVE them. Yes you have to replace the mouse batteries every couple of months but the keyboard has gone a year without changing. If I want to use my desk space, wireless let me move my keyboard totally out of the way instantly. I can also use the keyboard across the room. I raise my monitor up on a Fellowes monitor stand so I just put the receiver under the stand out of the way. And with the mouse there is no damn cord getting in the way. I can imagine where a corded mouse might be better (e.g. young kids around that might walk off with it) but in my kiddie free house its never been farther than a foot from the same spot. Also I do not have WiFi so if that caused problems with interference, ... I don't know what I'd do in that case. Maybe not use WiFi???
If you type fast, you will hate your wireless keyboard. Also, if you have gotten used to your keyboard responding in less than half a second, never missing any letters that you type, and always working, DO NOT get a wireless keyboard.
Summary: Wireless keyboards are toys and status symbols. They are a waste of money in an office environment.
About the only purpose they serve is for if you have PC hooked to your TV in your loving room or for a presentation. Even then, you will have to shop around for one with greater than 5 feet range.
I had a mouse. IT sucked. The thing never worked,it had to be a certain distance from the port for it to work, and id hafta reset it constantly. plus the batteries die like instantly.
i wouldnt recommend it,unless you get one of the more advanced ones =]
I think the idea is great, but you would need a good quality one, and i've never felt the need not to have cables, if i have cables, I don't need to worry about batteries, and its always attached to the computer, and therefore harder to lose
yeah, unless u get one of those super expensive mice, it's completely worthless.
yes they arel cool unitl the batteries wear out!
